Shortly before the first European Championship match in the Berlin government district, the fan zone was cleared. A suspicious object is responsible for this.
“A suspicious object was found in the Scheidemannstrasse entrance to the fan area. This space is currently not available for fans,” the Berlin police wrote on Platform X on Friday afternoon. The police are currently investigating the item. According to “Bild”, a man was arrested for allegedly leaving a backpack behind.

It was initially unclear whether there was actually a dangerous object in the backpack or whether it was simply not taken because it was larger than allowed. According to the report, the exclusion zone is 200 meters wide.
The opening football match between Germany and Scotland starts at 9 p.m. in Munich. The European Championship will be held in a total of ten German stadiums.
